"Here comes the tea": cleaning staff poison colleague with acid and cleaning agents
Warsaw (Poland) - Two employees of a Polish cleaning company decided to poison their boss. To put their plan into action, they mixed acid and detergent into their boss's break tea.
As the Polish news channel"polsatnews" reports, the incident only came to light when a 51-year-old woman went to the doctor because she had been feeling unwell for some time and was suffering from constant abdominal pain.
The doctor made a worrying discovery: the woman had severe internal injuries that required immediate treatment.
As the woman had a suspicion as to who had caused her this suffering, she installed a hidden camera in her employer's break room. And indeed, her suspicions were confirmed: two of her colleagues (56 and 68) were trying to poison her!
She immediately went to the police with the fresh evidence. The videos allegedly showed the 56-year-old repeatedly pouring bath cleaner, acid and other chemicals into her superiors' tea. She then informed her 68-year-old accomplice about the adulterated tea - so that she would not accidentally reach for the wrong cup.
After viewing the material, the officers immediately arrested the two poisoners. "These substances could even have led to death," said one of the police officers.
"Professional jealousy" as the motive for the crime by the two cleaners
The officers quickly discovered the motive of the two perpetrators. As it turned out, all three were employed by the same external cleaning company and had been having a "professional conflict" for some time.
The two women arrested are said to have been jealous of their boss's position, which is why they had decided to get rid of their superior with a poison cocktail.
